Frankfort Paper's to tint 16th - June also arrived this Inorni,no.. A dreadful calamity took place at Schot t) t en ) in which a number of lives were lost, by the over whelming rapidity of a mountain-torrent, occasioned by thunder-clouds : DARMSTADT, JUNI 14. A letter from Schotten; of the sth inst., gives the following 14144 ° 1101 y account of the ravages caused by a natural phenomenon 14 that neighbourhood. On the 3d, during an, intolerable heat, With a P i t i e d calm , heavy thunder clouds coming from the South, collected about the summits of the Vogelberg, and, about five in the 4 1..`" 1 n0n , poured down a tremendous deluge, which , rushing from !se monntain, carried away entire fields, and. poured into the valley ' ll which the village of Eschenrod, and five others , are situated. , techenrod the whole collectedinto one stream, which poured L ts desolating course to the village ; this was the w ork of a few , ; the whole road which passes through the village was at 444. * 1 _ 30 feet under water, which roes in waves as high as a 7 1 tos• entirely destroyed the causeway, rooted up the trees, curled off timber, immense stones and waggons, under 41ined the foundations of the buildings on the road, and *wept sway entire houses with their inhabitants. In this manner 21 persons perished it Esehenrod. Among them was a family of 4 it members, with a foater-daughter this family is now extinct. Of annalisr family only the father, who happened to. be in a field situated in an elevated spot, remains alive. His wife, three chil dren, and two servants, perished in the house, when he returned he could scarcely recognise the niece where his'house had stood. Twenty-six building. are entirely destroyed at Eschenrod, and twenty-nine more or less dataaged. In the street through which the torrent passed, there are chasms from kl to 30 feet deep, so that all communication was interrupted. , The portentous struggle of a .County Election at York, has all gone off in smoke. Mr. BETHELL'S friends have declined a contest, notwithstandi ng their first detertnination, and 'Subsequent • threats, to plaCe their favourite et the head of the poll, with a swimming . majority. The result proves how much easier it is to talk than t0,d0.1 The four. Mewl*" who had been originally proposed have all been returned without the, intervention of a troublesome rival. Thus far all has gone off mi l oOrhty to the disappointment of the fair lam as o f Yorkshire, and the mortification of the dealers stirs O. In Northumberland, the gains is kept tip with great spirit by' burning with ardour to gain the honour y rivals of representing the kingdom of the Percys." Nor does the pomp and circumstance of election lose any of its glo r y i n Westmoreland, where the blue and yellovi , ensi gns of rivalry contend for pre-eminence ; but it squires no prophecy to foretel the result. At 'Preston and ilchester, the children of disorder have had another holiday. - - A very curious question has been started by a Morni t i g paper,. relative to the steps necessary on the Close of the General Election, to constitute the new, a get)uine and reii Parliament. For this purpose, it lg said to be necessary, according to HATSELL's book of high authority, that the Parliament should have sat, deliberated, and passed one Bill ; that is, that it should have had one Session,—for otherwise, in case of the demise of the Crown, not the Members recently elected or now electing, •but the last dksolved Parliament would have 'l6 assemble, and the Whole of the elections would be nugatory and void. . NiTe rejoice to hear that his MAJESTY is m excellent health, and therefore feel the less delicac •witch could alluding to the possibility of an event could render such a proceeding necessary, but we should . not have mentioned the subject at. oil -had not other Journals done so. We shall only add, that if the law • now stands as laid down in Mr. HATSELL'S book, from which we subjoin the following extract, it appears proper that it should be altered when Parliament meets, to prevent at any future time the occurrence ofathe confusion which might arise on such a contingency. . " There is a very extraordinary provision made, for the meet ing of Parliament, by the stetute of the 6th Anne, ch. 7, s. 6, viz. That in case there is no Parliament in being, at the time of the demise of the Crown, ' that has met and sat,' then the last preceding Parliament shall immediately convene, and sit at West minster, as. if the said Parliament had never been dissolved.' rhe same provision is made, and with the same expression, that has met and sat,' by the Regency Bill the sth of George 111. chap. Q 7, sect. 20. The construction of this expression, ' that has met and sat,' hes always been understood to be Parliament, Psrlisent, of which a session' has been held ;' and to constitute a session," it has been held, that an Act of Parliament must have passed both Houses, and must have received the Royal assent. James 1., in his commission for dissolving the Parliament, in 1614, says, Sed, pro eo quod nullus.regalis, cisseneus, ant responsio, .per nos preestita fuit, nullunz Parlianzentum, Iler aliqua sessio Par habuit ant tenuit existentiam.' And in compliance with this construction of the law, and to obviate those difficulties, and that confusion, which must arise on the meeting of a dissolved' Parliament, even though another Parliament should be actually elected and returned, provided this Parliament had not met and sat,' i. e. had not , passed a Bill which had received the Royal assent; it was thought prudent, in the years 1754, and 1768, for the Parliament to meet " imme diately' on its election, and to pass a bill, in order to constitute session.' And indeed the confusion would be such, and the con ltruction put upon these words, in the midst of that confusion, by those persons who shall happen to be interested in the assembling of the old' or new' Parliament, would be so different, that, whenever I have considered this question, I have been surprised that an act of Parliament is not immediately passed to obviate all these difficulties ; and to snake it clear what ought to he done, if the event of the demise of the Crown should happen, either during the election of the new Par liament, or after the election, but before their meeting, or after their 'meeting, but before a bill should be passed, so as to consti tute it a legal session. " It appears from the Journal of the House of Commons, of the 92d of December, 1698, that in a bill for frequent calling of Parliaments, which had passed the Lords, and was then de pending, but was afterwards rejected, there was a clause, ' That it should be understood to be a Parliament holden, if it be as unnbled, although it happen that no act or judgment should pass within the time of their being so assembled.' " " The Session is never understood to be at an end until a prorogation; though, unless some Act be passed, or some judg ment given in . Parliament, it is in truth no Session at all.—Blach stone, vol. i. p. 186." THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Clock, this Day.

CHARGE OF MURDER. Ann Brown, aged-60, stood indicted for "the wilful murder of Elizabeth Brown en the 7th of June, in the parish of St. Giles. Mr. Baas opened, and Mr. Awnams stated,' the rase. He said that the prisoner was wife of Charles BroWn, who keeps a coal-shed in Queen-street, Seven-dials ; he was only't 5 years old. 'and.she. bO. • The child • that Was murdered was en illegiti mate daughter of Charles BroWn ; it was only' three years old. The prisoner consented to have it in the haute, and treated it as her, own; never manifested- any ill-will towards it until the day before the murder was committed, Whet, • she treated it with in difference. He then called the folloWing witnesses: — Elizabeth Edwards, a widow, knew the prisoner between three and four mouths; attended her as " charwoman, to light the fire and clean the stairs ;- remembered Wednesday, the 7th of June ; saw the prisoner in her bed-room in the morning. She came into the room where witness had lighted the fire. Witness said I have a pain in my head ; prisoner replied that is bad. There is a little room where the child slept--witness went in there; it-was then asleep. The husband of prisoner was their dressing himself in his bed room. Witness then left the house and returning shortly afterwards found prisoner poking the fire. Witness noticed how dull the tire was; prisoner said the water will be boiled time enough; asked the prisoner if she should fetch some butter, as there was scarcely any; prisoner said there was quite enough. Witness left the house at twenty minutes to nine; heard of the murder at half-past nine; noticed the prisoner to be very low for the three weeks previous; saw her at Marlbo rough-street the same day. Cross-examined by Mr. LAW—Eight o'clock was the hour ap pointed for witness to attend on prisoner ; she was there a few minutes before—yet prisoner, looking at the clock, said witness came too late. Prisoner was very kind towards the child during the four months it was in the house; prisoner used to mope for two or three weeks before—had always the ammeter of a humane person. Witness had mentioned to other persons bow low and gloomy the prisoner had been. Thomas Price, examined by Mr. Awl:Amt.—Occupied a part of the same house wish prisoner; knew the room in which the child slept; it was the back room ; lived about a year and ten months in the same house ; saw the child' on the day before the murder ; heard Mrs. Edwards going np stairs on the 7th of June ; soon after she went off, prisoner came down stairs, and cried out " Charles what have I done ?" ' Charles, the husband, was then in the shop. Prisoner repeated it a down timer ; Charles asked if she had cut her fingers. Charles then passed out of the shop up stairs, to his own room. Witness said, " For God sake, what is the matter ?" at the same time followed Charles up to his room ; met him coming out, tearing his hair. Witness went into the room ; Charles followed, and exclaimed, " For God sake look at my baby !—O, my. child ! 0, my child !" The chili was lying on the door, having its throat cut : witness went down stairs, met the prisoner with her hands, shoes, and stockings bloody, muttering something ; witness followed her into the front room, prisoner said, " where is my child, what have I done ?" in a wild manner. Charles came, in and said, " Ann, what have you done, you have murdered my baby!" prisoner kept saying, "where is my child ? what have 1 done?" Charles embraced prisoner, who fell ou the sofa as if fainting : Charles began to tear his hair, and prisoner appeared in such a state as to excite fear that she should lay violent hands on herself: witness stood there until the officers came, they took her off; saw her afterwards at Marlborough-street ; she appeared in the same state ; on his first entrance into the room where the child was, he saw a bloody knife in the hand of Charles, who took it out of a sink that was in the adjoining room ; be did not observe any difference, in prisoner's behaviour before that time. Crass-examined by Mr. Putrues—Prisoner passed through the street, exclaiming what have I done : before he knew any thing about it, she made the discovery herself. Sarah Howard examined by Mr. ANDILIEWS—Knew the pri soner these seven years; she was always very kind to the child; remembered the day before the murder; saw the child playing with a favourite dog, that used to draw a little car; the child en deavoured to call the attention of the prisoner to the dog, but the prisoner remained indifferent, and would take no notice; on the 7th of June the husband came to witness's house and brought her over to her owriroom; saw prisoner exclaiming, what have I done? witness asked prisoner what she had done, she mails no reply; the child was lying ou the door, the child was warm, hut the blood was assisted in dressing the corpse after wards—the head was nearly severed from the body ; I saw the prisoner afterwards before the Magistrate;-.-could not say how she conducted herself. Crow-examined by Mr., LAW—Never saw the prisoner in k passon--ehe used to take particular amusement in seeing the child playing with the dog. 3. Bigg, overseer of St. Giles's in the Fields, recollected see- .ing the prisoner at the workhouse on the 7th of Juue. She watt then in a strait waistcoat, by the tireta4g with teveral others in a wait— vittoess-vroducetilfrikfter oriltiliation, which he re.. ceived from the magistrate itiMarlhoirougb-street. Mr. L - aw objected to it, 'Wit 'related not to she child in WWI - ilon—it was accordingly withdrawn:: Jonethitn'l.idyer Was, at ten minute". past nine, on the 7th of June, at the'firiadurr's house.. The beadle came after him—he took the prisoner into custody. She cootintied to 'exclaim "what have I done?" Wituees took her to' the watchhouse..—ehe asked **yorel times where *as barchild?—saw ths jacket put on her. Cross-examined brAir:"Pntitare,:—When he first dame to the room where she was, there were two persons holding her by the shoulders. John Bartlett, a bead's in St. Giles's, wu at the prisoner's house on the 7th of June; found a bloody knife on the floor; took it to the watch-house. Samuel Furman, an officer, took the prisoner to Marlborough street on '7th June. lie asked her, in the name of God, what induced her to do it. She replied, that it was done in a mo ment, and she was sorry for it. lie asked liar where the child was, she said that the child was sleeping in the bed, and she took it out and cut its throat" with a carving knife. She complained very much of a person narnid Bentley, and anOther who lived, op posite to her, taunting her fir having no children of her own, and also respecting her husband's infidelity. Elisabeth Clear, the mother of the murdered child, stood up, but her feelings were so overcome that she could not answer the questions put to her. She was a well-looking girl, seemingly about 20 year* old. After much difficulty she said that the pri 'loner had always allowed her access to her child, and had behaved very kindly towards it. ''This - was the case for the prosecution. Ilenry Angelo, for the defence, examined by Mx. Law.— knew the prisoner for 80 years ; she bad been brought up in his family u an under nurses -maid ; she had been at one time i►t a state of derangement, and had attempted to drown herself; she had always conducted herself humanely.

Dr. Bayley said that the prisoter should not be entrusted with children, on which the prisoner was accordingly sent out of her situation as nursery-maid, The Ju►y here interposed, and said that there was no occasion for calling any further evidence, as WO were satisfied. The LORD Cum , BARON said, that it was quite evident that the mind of the prisoner was then in a disordered state; and if the Jury were of that opinion, they should acquit her of the charge of murder. . The Jury, without hesitation, Maned a verdict—Not Ouilty of Murder, as tke act was done in a moment of insanity.

MY DEAR LITTLE LASSIE. (EBO/4 THE SONGS OF SCOTLAND.) My dear little lassie, why, what's a' the master? My heart it gauge pittypat, winna lie still ; I've waited, and waited, an' a' to grow bitter, Yet, lassie, believe me, I'm aye growinglll, My head's turn'd quite ditty, an' aft when I'm speaking I sigh, an' ern breathless, an' fearfu' to speak I gaze aye for something l fain wad be seeking, Yet, lassie, I keens weel what I wad seek. Thy praise, bonnie lassie, I ever could hear of, And yet when to ruse ye the neelcur lads try, Tito' its a' true they tell ye, yet never sae far oti I could see 'em ilk ane, 1 canna tell why. Wino we tedded the hafieltl, I raked ilka rig o't, And never grew wearie the long simmer day ; The wrucks that ye wroutht at were easiest biggit, Anti I fend sweeter scented artnin` ye the hay. In har'st, when the kirn-supper joys mak' us cheerio, 'Mang the lave of the lasses I pried yeiv sweet mou ; Dear save us! how queer I felt whan 1 cam' near ye, My breast thrill'd in rapture, 1 couldna tell how. When we dance at the gloamin it's you I aye pitch or And gin ye gang by me how dinvie 14; There's something, dear lassie, about ye bewit44s l l.. That tells me my happiness :i7entres itt tht.e.
